"Hold it, hold it -- this ain't over yet! I know: The passage of three long years since we last met may have led you to worry I'd abandoned my noble endeavor to unearth all of the mind-bending rhythm and blues in the nearly bottomless King and Federal vaults. But fear not. To paraphrase the immortal words of
Titus Turner
in 'Hold Your Loving,' I'm gonna keep at it till the meatballs bounce! I'm delighted to report that
Bossa Nova and Grits
features some showstopping acts new to the
R&B Hipshakers
series: there's 18-year-old
Little Esther Phillips
and her indelibly nasal voice, which would make her a star for decades to come; her fierce, piano-pounding fellow Texan
Camille Howard
, pushing 40 by the time she growled 'You mole, you!'; Angelenos
The Lamplighters
, led by a young
Thurston Harris
(doin' sixty-what'd-they-say?!); the otherworldly singer's singer
Jimmy Scott
, just before a sad 20-year lull in his recording career that would be followed by a fresh round of well-deserved accolades in the 1990s. And then there's our first dip into the oeuvre of guitar god
Jimmy Nolen
, who would basically invent funk guitar playing a decade later as a member of
James Brown
's band but is already wielding a pretty expressive instrument in 'The Way You Do.' Some old favorites are back, too: it wouldn't be a
Hipshakers
, after all, without brilliant new entries from
Little Willie John
,
The 5 Royales
,
Hank Ballard & The Midnighters
,
Johnny Watson
, and
Freddy King
-- he in a rousing dance-floor duet with series stalwart
Lula Reed
. Non-bouncing meatballs? We've got 'em. Slinky mambo beats? They're here. Back-to-back odes to vino? Yep. Wailing instrumentals? But of course. Twin blast-offs to outer space? Check. Prepare to taste the sound of these boss grits" --
Mr Fine Wine
. Also includes tracks by
Little Joe Washington
,
Juanita Nixon
,
Wynonie Harris
,
Roy Brown & His Mighty Mighty Men
,
King Syam
,
Gene Wilson & His Genies
,
Amos Milburn
,
Sam Anderson & The Telstars
, and
Clarence Paul
. Tracks originally released between 1953 and 1967.
